Rated power output

The total power supplied by the autoinverter in normal operation. In other words, this parameter can be described as the highest rated power of the connected load, at which the device is able to work without failures and overloads for a long time (comparable to the discharge time of the battery used for power).

Accordingly, when choosing according to the rated output power, it is worth proceeding from the energy consumption of the intended load. At the same time, it is worth choosing an inverter with a margin of 15-20% — for example, for a laptop with a consumption of 150 W, a device with at least 175 W is recommended. This is due not only to overload protection, but also to the fact that many inverters are able to deliver the claimed power only when the battery is fully charged, and as this charge is exhausted, it decreases.

It is also worth considering that some devices, such as car refrigerators or household vacuum cleaners, consume significantly more energy when starting up than during normal operation. Therefore, when choosing an inverter for such devices, it is worth focus not only on the rated, but also on the peak power — the power that the auto-inverter is capable of delivering without consequences within a few seconds.

Peak power output

The highest total power supply (peak) that the autoinverter can deliver to the load for a relatively short time is 2-3 s. Usually, this power is higher than the nominal one (see above) by 30-50%. At the same time, if you choose an inverter for maximum power, the same rules apply as for the nominal one — the device performance should be 15-20% higher than the total power of the connected load. And to work with devices that consume a large amount of energy at startup (vacuum cleaners, power tools, etc.), it is also worth specifying the peak power of the inverter — it should not be lower than the "starting" load power.
